Electric power steering device
View Patent ↗An electric power steering device includes a ferrite core mounted on a wire harness connected to an electric motor and a bracket configured to fix the ferrite core to a vehicle.
1. An electric power steering device for assisting a steering force by transmitting a rotational force of an electric motor to a rack shaft, the electric power steering device comprising:
a ferrite core mounted on a wire harness, the wire harness being connected to the electric motor; and
a bracket configured to fix the ferrite core to a vehicle, the bracket being disposed apart from an end portion of the wire harness on an electric motor side.
2. The electric power steering device according to claim 1 , wherein:
a portion of the ferrite core which contacts the wire harness has a hollow cylindrical shape.
3. The electric power steering device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the bracket is fixed to a rack housing for housing the rack shaft.
4. The electric power steering device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the wire harness has an end connected to the electric motor, and
the bracket is distanced from said end of the wire harness.
5. An electric power steering device for assisting a steering force by transmitting a rotational force of an electric motor to a rack shaft, the electric power steering device comprising:
a ferrite core mounted on a wire harness, the wire harness being connected to the electric motor;
a bracket configured to fix the ferrite core to a vehicle; and
a vibration-proof rubber provided between the ferrite core and the bracket in a radial direction of the wire harness,
wherein the bracket grips the wire harness in the radial direction of the wire harness.
6. The electric power steering device according to claim 5 , wherein:
the wire harness has an end connected to the electric motor, and
the bracket is distanced from said end of the wire harness.
7. An electric power steering device for assisting a steering force by transmitting a rotational force of an electric motor to a rack shaft, the electric power steering device comprising:
a ferrite core mounted on a wire harness, the wire harness being connected to the electric motor;
a bracket configured to fix the ferrite core to a vehicle; and
a vibration-proof rubber provided between the ferrite core and the bracket, wherein:
the vibration-proof rubber has a hollow cylindrical shape and includes:
two outer peripheral side jaw portions respectively formed on outer peripheral sides of opposite end parts of the vibration-proof rubber, the two outer peripheral side jaw portions sandwiching the bracket; and
two inner peripheral side jaw portions respectively formed on inner peripheral sides of the opposite end parts of the vibration-proof rubber, the two inner peripheral side jaw portions sandwiching the ferrite core.
8. The electric power steering device according to claim 5 , wherein:
the vibration-proof rubber has a hollow cylindrical shape and includes:
two outer peripheral side jaw portions respectively formed on outer peripheral sides of opposite end parts of the vibration-proof rubber, the two outer peripheral side jaw portions sandwiching the bracket; and
two inner peripheral side jaw portions respectively formed on inner peripheral sides of the opposite end parts of the vibration-proof rubber, the two inner peripheral side jaw portions sandwiching the ferrite core, and
inner diameters of the inner peripheral side jaw portions are smaller than an inner diameter of the ferrite core.
